WELLINGTON (Reuters) - British and Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland has handed captain Sam Warburton a start in one of three changes to the side beaten 30-15 last weekend for Saturday's second test against New Zealand.

Gatland has made two changes to a pack that lost the battle of the breakdown in Auckland for a match the tourists must win to retain a chance of winning a test series in New Zealand for the first time since 1971.
